"This brief review captures the evolving role of miRNAs, focusing on their clinical relevance and implications as well as future directions for more effective targeted therapeutic interventions," write the authors.

WNT9B E152K was associated with a 2.5-fold increase in the risk of prostate cancer and reached genome-wide significance.

"The biggest thing that I took away from using the device is that it allowed me to do the procedure by myself, without an assistant," says Matthew J. Mutter, MD.

Overall, the open-label phase 1/2 study is assessing the safety and anti-tumor activity with INKmune across 3 dose levels.

Check out the key regulatory decisions set to happen early this year.

"From a coding standpoint and from the work performed and valuation of the work and descriptors, it is appropriate to report the dilation (50436 without or 50437 with new access as appropriate) along with the nephrolithotomy codes (50080/50081) when both are performed at the same time by the same provider," write Jonathan Rubenstein, MD, and Mark Painter.

At 25 weeks, FACT-P total score remained comparable between the arms.

"[The] full integration [of genomic classifier tests] into clinical practice requires additional research to better understand their cost-effectiveness, clinical utility, and impact on diverse populations," says Amir Alishahi Tabriz, MD, PhD, MPH.

"The three-year durability data from this study further validate the potential of JELMYTO in providing long-term disease control for patients with low-grade upper tract urothelial cancer,” says Solomon L. Woldu, MD.

The accuracy of PLND was 93.41% in the ICG injection arm compared with 75.91% in the control arm.

The median time to correct treatment was 98 days with initial TURBT compared with 53 days with initial mpMRI.

Functional success was achieved in 58% of patients at 5-year follow-up.

At a median follow-up of 24.3 months, the confirmed objective response rate was 70%.

"There are far more people presenting to us for care than we have people able to provide it. The APPs are going to be a critical part of trying to solve that puzzle," says Mark T. Edney, MD.

The 15 drugs identified in this round of negotiations add to the 10 selected in the first round of negotiations that took place in 2023 and 2024.

The European approval of Illuccix adds on to prior approvals in the US, Australia, and Canada.

The planned sBLA will seek approval of Anktiva for patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC in the papillary indication.

The NDA is supported by data from cohort 2 of the phase 2b SunRISe-1 trial.

The Mona Lisa 2.0 platform has been previously approved in the US, Australia, and Singapore.

“In this phase 2 study, an image-guided adaptive strategy enabled radiotherapy dose escalation to over 86% of patients’ bladder tumors without significant increase in toxicity,” wrote the authors.

In a recent study of the RELIEF stent, 95% of patients showed no VUR following stent placement.
